Entrevista
Had an interview on telephone from a recruiting manager. She asked me about basic data structures, work experience related questions and a puzzle. After a couple of weeks i was informed that i am to go onsite for interview. Interview day was a chaos, we didn know when we are supposed to reach the office so got to office at 7AM seeing glassdoor reviews. The HR apologized as she forgot to send mail about interview and they started off the interview process at 9AM. Four rounds of interview and all technical. We were taken for lunch post interviews and escorted back to the hotel. Late night at 11PM i got a mail saying i was not selected.
